Do not get taken in by the cheap courses for BSL. Some websites advertise their courses priced at ridiculously low prices e.g marked down from £149.99 to £15.00 - but do not sign up to these courses. If you read through the specification of their course(s) and do not see it as being registered with Signature or iBSL then avoid like the plague.

I got taken in by the cheap pricing on one of the websites and after starting one of the courses I was disappointed to learn that it was nothing but useless PowerPoint slides and hardly any signing at all. Valuable lesson learnt regarding pricing and a reminder - "If its too good to be true...........".

Please be wary and if in doubt ask here :)

Hello Member, 

I am so sorry to hear that.  Unfortunately there many cheap BSL courses out there and not aligned with signature and iBSL and it also hard to find a reputable course delivery by an experience tutor.  Are you interesting in learning Level one BSL? If yes, I am happy to provide the information. 

Kind regards

      My name is Andrew and I am looking at learning BSL as a way to better myself and increase my understanding. Not finding it easy but I am finding it rewarding and I guess that is more important. Stay safe.

      Why I am 'trying' to learn Sign Language.

      By Andrew Tanner · Posted

      Good morning all. Brand new to this and not without concerns. Not deaf or indeed hard or hearing but certainly interested enough to learn. Planning on a career change to Adult Social Care and feel learning BSL would be of benefit. Wish me luck. Thank you.

      I need help asking a girl to be my girlfriend

      I found https://www.flirtini.com/asian.html while browsing for something a little different. I’d never really explored this kind of niche before, but something about it drew me in. The site makes it easy to start chatting right away, and the energy is sexy but relaxed. The women I’ve met so far are playful, curious, and not shy about what they want. It’s such a fun vibe — the kind that keeps you hooked longer than you planned.
